Genes affected
CACNA1C (HGNC:1390): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 C) This gene encodes an alpha-1 subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization. The alpha-1 subunit consists of 24 transmembrane segments and forms the pore through which ions pass into the cell. The calcium channel consists of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. There are multiple isoforms of each of these proteins, either encoded by different genes or the result of alternative splicing of transcripts. The protein encoded by this gene binds to and is inhibited by dihydropyridine. Alternative splicing results in many transcript variants encoding different proteins. Some of the predicted proteins may not produce functional ion channel subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.26).
BP6
Variant 12-2653831-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-2653831-C-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 263448.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000131 (20/152202) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00111 (17/15282). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000708. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 11 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 20 AD gene.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4075-4C>A intronic variant results from a C to A substitution 4 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 33 in the CACNA1C gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
